Notes and references
Explanatory footnotes
^Puerto de Caballos was abandoned in late 1524, resettled in 1525, abandoned shortly thereafter, and finally (permanently) settled sometime prior to 1544, per Meléndez Chaverri 1977, pp. 69–70.
^It has been suggested that French corsairs were seeking to advance their country's cause during the Habsburg–Valois Wars (Chamberlain 1966, pp. 225).
^Dated 1589 by Luján Muñoz 2005, p. 822 and Levy 1873, p. 37, though De la O Torres 2020, pp. 335–336 dates the first Flemish arrivals to the Caribbean Sea to the latter half of the 1590s, upon the arrival of an urca captained by Abraham of Madialbur. By 1616, a Flemish urca (which attacked Spanish Jamaica), was observed repeatedly watering near the San Adres Island and Cape Gracias a Dios, suggesting this area was by then a pirate haven, per De la O Torres 2020, p. 336 and González Díaz & Lázaro de la Escosura 2009, pp. 182–183.
^Possibly in consort with Diego el Mulato and Cornelis Jol, per Luján Muñoz 2005, pp. 822–823, or in consort with a French corsair, per De la O Torres 2020, pp. 334–334.
^These further abduct Pedro Rojo, Antonio Gómez, and three other vecinos of Bacalar, per Jones 1989, p. 320.
^This practice is thought to have lasted until c. 1665, per Bialuschewski 2020, p. 239.
^Dated 1598 by Hussey 1929, pp. 292–293, 296–297. On 1 November 1591, a real cédula instructs the Viceroy of Guatemala to raise taxes for an armada, per Rubio Sánchez 1987, pp. 131–132.
^Providence Island's first privateers (the Blessing, the Expectation, and the Hopewell) were despatched in May 1636, per Newton 1914, p. 226. Their last privateers (the Swallow and the Spy) were despatched in July 1638, per Newton 1914, p. 266.
^Onset of resistance to Bacalar dated 1630 by Gerhard 1979, p. 72.
^This date is traditionally given for the first English settlement in present-day Belize (further see Finamore 1994, pp. 21–24). A variety of alternative dates, however, have been proposed. These range from 1603 (by Asturias 1925, pp. 8–9) to 1717 (by Carillo y Ancona 1878, pp. 260–261).
^The use of logwood dyes in England was prohibited sometime during 21 March 1580 – 20 March 1581, per 23 Eliz. 1 ch. 9 (in Raithby 1819a, p. 671). The prohibition was strengthened in 1597, per 39 Eliz. 1 ch. 11 (in Raithby 1819a, pp. 911–912). It was loosened on 29 February 1620, per Green 1858, vol. 112, and finally lifted sometime during 7 January 1662 – 3 May 1662, per 14 Chas. 2 ch. 11 (in Raithby 1819b, pp. 393–400) and Green 1861, vol. 54 no. 12.
^Surprised captains included Benjamin Edwards of Boston, Ayre of Connecticut, Hamilton of Jamaica, Christopher Atwel of England, Charles Harris of London, Henry Smith of Boston, Joseph Willis of London, and David Lindsey of Scotland, per Johnson 1724b, p. 358, anon. 1722a, anon. 1722b, anon. 1722c, anon. 1723c.
^Surprised captains included Benjamin Norton, John Medberry, Jeremiah Clark, and Benjamin Wickham, all of Rhode Island, per anon. 1723a.
^Citations, provided in relevant sections above, are here omitted for brevity. Failed piratical activities included. Floor and Ceiling columns provide chronological lower or upper bounds.
